Hennessey Venom GT: The World’s Fastest Tuned Car – /TUNED

OWN EXCLUSIVE: With only 6 instances built to this day, the Hennessey Poison GT could be considered the fastest street vehicle on the planet. Built off the Lotus Exige, this tuner auto packs a 1200+ horsepower punch with a theoretical top speed of 272mph. Host Matt Farah takes a fast ride in the million buck Texas developed supercar for the Season 3 premiere of TUNED on DRIVE.

They have a twin turbo Viper engine(8,4 liter V10) in that thing and it
only produces 1244bhp, the koenigsegg one:1 has a twin turbo 5 liter V8
with 1360 bhp. And the Koenigsegg has a better interior, it pulls 2G in the
corners and has 600kg of downforce at 250kph. This car is overrated and
will probably blow op in the corners. #Koenigseggissuperior﻿

Love to Hennessey for this. The veyron was nice in reaching 400kph but it
just looked like a heavy block of cement with the aerodynamics of a pre
2001 twin tower. An amazing feat of engineering and a good reminder of the
importance of power to weight.

I do think however that in truth besides power to weight, when your goal is
reaching the highest possible top speed, they need to look more into
aerodynamics (and possibly making them dynamic, as in live adjusting
downforce to current speed). The downforce this body generates at its top
speed is probably way too much, hence slowing it down.﻿

The Hennessy Venom was constructed and developed in England and it’s a
British Lotus. Also Britain is the global leader in race car construction
and has held the land speed record for nearly 60 years in total. ( I think
it’s about 18 years in total for America.)Britain’s bravery and engineering
outstrips America easily.
